LINWOOD, N.J. – Atlantic County Republicans gathered on a sunny Saturday morning at Linwood County Club and selected their 2019 candidates.
Republicans will field former Brigantine Mayor Phil Guenther and Freeholder John Risley for Assembly in 2nd Legislative District. The freeholder ticket will be led by incumbent Freeholder Director Amy Gatto and rounded out by Rich Dase and Sumon Majumder.
